A FEMINIST DREAM AT THE GOP

ST. PAUL (By Kirsten Powers, New York Post) - If you drive around my home state of Alaska for very long, you're sure to see a bumper sticker exclaiming, "Alaska girls kick ass."

Last night, "Sarah Barracuda" more than lived up to that slogan as she fought back at the media and Washington naysayers who've ridiculed her as a bimbo bumpkin interloper and showed she isn't going to be pushed around.

Had the media not been viciously attacking her family for the last few days, the speech might've seemed too tough. With that backdrop, it was more than appropriate.
